I want to thank proparamedics for transporting me to whiteabbey hospital yesterday for an appointment as I had several times have to postpone as my Doctor was unable to get me an ambulance. This meant I had to change my appointments twice . The staff was very helpful professional and went that extra mile to make my experience a very good one. So want to thank Jimmy and Andy for my experience .
